Here’s how to stream the big game at home over the internet, to whatever device you want to watch on.
There are a wide array of ways to stream the main event online through one of several options:
- Web: CBS Sports will have a stream here that you can view on your computer, or from any device with a web browser.
- Streaming: Fox Sports GO. Viewers can use iOS, Android, Windows, and Amazon tablets or through connected devices, including Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, Chromecast, Amazon Fire and Xbox One. NFL Game Pass (available to watch online after midnight)
- Set top boxes: If you have an Apple TV, Android TV, or Roku box, you can watch the game via the CBS Sports app. You can download the the Android TV app here, and the Roku app here. For the Apple TV, search for “CBS Sports” (assuming it’s not featured right now, which it probably is).
- Xbox One: Current-gen Xbox users can also download the CBS Sports app from the Xbox One Store to stream the game. Sorry, PS4 fans.
- Windows 10: If you want to watch on the computer, but the stream in your browser isn’t working, you can also download—say it with me now,—theCBS Sports app for Windows 10 from the Windows App Store to stream it live as well.
- iPad and Android Tablets: If you want to watch the game on the 10″ screen in your hand, on top of the 40″ screen in your living room, you know the drill by now, grab the free CBS Sports apps for Android and iOS.
- iPhones and Android Phones: If you want the big game on an even smallerscreen, or you need to go somewhere during the game but don’t want to miss anything, you’ll need the NFL mobile apps. Here are the downloads for Android and iOS. Both apps are free, but as we mentioned, live Super Bowl streams are only available for Verizon Wireless customers. Sad day.
All of this is on top of the regular broadcasts. You can catch the game on CBS which will be broadcasting over the air and free in most areas. If you’re using an OTA antenna, you can check TV Fool to find an affiliate and channel in your area carrying the game. If all else fails, there’s certainly a bar or pub nearby with the game on. For those outside the U.S., you may need the NFL Game Pass to watch, which is $99/year (though they offer a 7-day trial period which might work if you haven’t used it already).
All-in-all, this is a pretty impressive spread for the biggest football event of the year. Cord cutters are getting off easy this time around. The game starts at 6:30 PM ET on Sunday, February 5th.
